Eliteserien Fantasy thread 🇳🇴

Fantasy FK released a new #ESNFantasy pod today and this time it’s all about which attackers you should go for, with a couple of cheaper ones to keep an eye on 👀 (1/17)

Earlier this week it was announced that some teams will not play in the first two GW’s. Keep an eye on the fixture list for upcoming updates!

In todays pod they start by discussing Molde, where they reveal that Molde is reportedly on the look out for another (!) attacker (2/17)
This is mainly caused by Ohi’s injury and the fact that Sigurdarson has not impressed much yet. They also mention that its possible for all 3 of their current attackers (Fofana) to play together, with Björn dropping into the no 10 role and one of the other off the wing (3/17)
Either way, neither of these 3 are interesting picks for them. Much because of the lack of funds if you want a premium-filled midfield (Eikrem the better choice for me).

Kjartansson (VIF) is discussed next. Eirik is reluctant to choose him and is opting for Dønnum instead (4/17)
Jonas makes the point that he’s a bit afraid of Kjartansson’s ownership, that he may be a popular ©️ pick, how much it could hurt your rank if you don’t have him & he hauls. Which I reckon means something like this: Go without him at your own risk.

Next up: Veton Berisha (5/17)
This is Eirik’s favoured pick of the premium attackers. He is on pens, a real team leader and got a lot of goals (+ 29 bonus pts 👀) last year. Eirik goes on to say that you can’t go wrong by picking Berisha. He claims that you’re better off with Berisha than a Molde fwd (6/17)
This is because Berisha is more nailed to start every match. Ibrahimaj & Bytyqi is gone & w/out friendlies its hard to tell how much that impacts him. Jonas joins the discussion and they both agree that while Kjartansson is a good pick, you should consider Berisha instead (7/17)
Their main problem with Berisha is that you can’t afford to have him in your team if he isn’t scoring, and they feel like his goal contributions comes in waves. With Berisha its important to bring him in when he starts firing, although it’s impossible to tell when that is (8/17)
Rosenborg is the next team to be covered, and they both make it clear that they will not go for a RBK attacker to begin with. Their new signing, Molins, can imply that Hareide is not too happy with Islamovic & that picking a RBK FWD therefore seems risky. They feel like.. (9/17)
.. a lot goes through Berisha in Viking, whereas they feel it will be a lot more variety in Rosenborg when it comes to goal contributions.

Next up is Botheim. They don’t think he’s worth it based on his previous ES games, but he might surprise us all in new surroundings (10/17)
ODD: Bakenga is deemed too pricey for Eirik, as he may be playing on the wing if Lauritsen is set to play ST, which is Jonas’ preferred choice of the two.

Brann: Bamba leaves this summer. He’s either playing for his future, or he’s not playing at all. Stay clear for now (11/17)
LSK: Lehne Olsen (8.5M) is a personal favourite for Eirik, and he’s in his latest draft because of his earlier merits in Eliteserien.

S08: Opseth (8.5M) is interesting, but 08’s situation is a bit too uncertain to pick him from the start.

SIF: Mawa & Friday - stay clear (12/17)
FKH: Wadji (8M) & Liseth (7M) both interesting options, not clear who 2 go for without friendlies.

TIL: If Espejord (7.5M) manages to keep himself fit, he will be a great pick - after a few GW’s.

KBK: Pemi is injured & Kastrati scored 0(!) goals last season. Enough said (13/17)
MIF: If Stokke (6.5M) manages to reproduce the numbers from his KBK days he may be a good pick for that price. He has to show something in pre-season first though.

STB: Azemi is their best option now, but rumour has it that they are desperately looking for a new striker (14/17)
Sandefjord: Go with GussiĂĄs (6M) if you want to have a striker who scores a goal sporadically.

To sum up:

Either go with one premium and two mid-ranged FWD’s, or one of each (maybe two premiums? 👀) and a 4.5. There’s not really too many good attacking options this year (15/17)
This is my latest draft. I will leave it be until we get clarity on who gets an early blank GW, and come back with an updated draft in due course.

The next pod is due on Tuesday, and they’ll post a tweet soon where you can submit your Q’s and they will try to answer them (16/17)
(17/17)

The Eliteserien kickoff edges closer for every passing thread, and now it’s just three weeks until #ESFantasy starts 🙌
